NEW YORK (HedgeWorld.com) - Vega Asset Management is in damage control mode. There was not much to speculate about in terms of performance; the numbers for the month of September were plain bad. Instead the guessing game has focused on what exactly remained of the asset management powerhouse, which has offices in Madrid and New York.
Several reports speculated that only $1 billion were left in Vega's books while other reports indicated $3 billion remained.

"In view of the inaccurate media reporting in various quarters, investors should know that assets under management in investment funds and managed accounts managed or advised by the Vega businesses, which include Vega Asset Management and VegaPlus Capital Partners, are approximately $5 billion as of the end of September," Mr. Hutchinson said in the letter.See the full content of this document
